Chapter 1733: Expansion of the Agency Store

In fact, in Cao Zhang's heart, he also wanted to let some cities with good economic development have Xiaoyu Technology Life Museum. In this way, whether he can make money or not is aside, at least Pengying Holdings can make a lot of money.

However, Shen Dapeng's bitter smile has a reason.

Hasn't he thought about Cao Zhang's idea?

In fact, not only Xiaoyu Technology Life Museum, but also other things such as food factory logistics and hotel catering, he also wants to expand quickly across the country, but the funding is a weakness.

Now the profits of various companies are used for the development of squares and real estate in Shenzhen, and there is no more money for expansion, so Shen Dapeng has no choice but to think of mortgage loans.

Now the loan has not been approved, and there is no money to expand the science and technology museum, so this idea can only be put on hold for the time being.

"If you open a direct store now, I'm afraid there will be some difficulties in funding. Brother Cao, you are not thinking about expanding the agency store again?"

Shen Dapeng suddenly thought of this layer and couldn't help asking.

If you open a direct-sale store, the company will have to bear all the daily operating costs, such as store rental and staff costs.

And this cost is hundreds of thousands, and this is the cost of a store. If it expands to various places, it will not be hundreds of thousands. Wang Yuying has the same idea as Cao Zhang, and I am afraid that she is willing but unable to do it.

But if you open an agency store, it will be easy.

Once a brand is well-known and has very good sales, there will naturally be some smart businessmen who come to discuss agency matters. In this case, you can charge a certain agency fee, and secondly, the company can earn a certain profit from the goods sold.

And more importantly, the location selection, rental and staff costs of the store are all paid by the agent, and the company does not have to pay a penny. At most, a planner will be sent to design the decoration and layout of the store in the early stage to attract customers.

"That's right, Dapeng, that's exactly what I was thinking. I know that the company is developing in Shenzhen, and the funds must be very tight. But Xiaoyu's products are selling so well now. It would be a pity if we don't take advantage of the situation to open more agency stores."

"Besides, I have some friends all over the country. Some of my classmates have already graduated and their families are in good condition. When they learned that I am now running this science and technology museum, they also wanted to be agents."

Shen Dapeng heard the meaning of Cao Zhang's words. Although Cao Zhang graduated only a year ago, the Cao family is at least somewhat famous in Beijing, and the network of relationships is complicated. The people who often deal with them are some financially powerful people. If they open an agency store, they naturally have the strength to do so.

In addition, among Cao Zhang's classmates, there are some with relatively rich family backgrounds. After graduation, these classmates may not be willing to work in the company. They only get that pitiful salary every month. They want to start a career, but they can't find a suitable entrepreneurial opportunity for a while.

Now, I heard that Cao Zhang made money from running this science and technology museum, so Zi Ran was inspired and contacted Cao Zhang to discuss the matter of being an agent.

Shen Dapeng thought about this and couldn't help but ponder.

In theory, if this is the case, it is definitely a good thing. It can not only increase the company's income, but also further increase the popularity of Xiaoyu products.

However...

Shen Dapeng hesitated for a while, but still expressed his worries.

"Brother Cao, if you open more agency stores, this will definitely be a good thing, but I still say that agency stores are different from direct stores. I am afraid that there will be some mixed phenomena among them, which will affect the image of our Xiaoyu products."

Before, when Cao Zhang first mentioned the opening of an agency store in the science and technology museum, Shen Dapeng considered this point.

Direct stores are directly managed by the company, and there are strict systems in all aspects. The prices of products are set, and the service is very thoughtful. Customers have a strong sense of experience.

And shopping is only one aspect, the more important thing is the experience.

If it is an agent store, the company is only responsible for the initial store opening. As for the price of the product, the company will give a guide price. The product is also shipped directly by the company. The daily operation and sales company generally do not care.

In this case, some problems are inevitable. Whether the customer experience is good or not, the company is difficult to deal with. If the services in all aspects cannot keep up, customers are likely to have a bad impression and lose confidence in the original high-quality Xiaoyu products.

"Dapeng, don't worry about this. I can tell you this, and I will definitely take this into consideration. Xiaoyu products are created by you after many years of operation, with good intentions. As a good friend and partner, how can I bear to see the reputation of the product damaged because of this?"

Cao Zhang is a smart man. Naturally, he heard the worries that Shen Dapeng was referring to. He couldn't help but laugh a few times and then explained.

"So, when choosing an agent, I will definitely keep a close eye on it. I promise you this."

Shen Dapeng also chuckled a few times. Cao Zhang sometimes considered things very comprehensively. He also considered what he could consider, and Cao Zhang was a good person.

After the two of them had worked together for several years, Shen Dapeng had already understood what kind of person he was. He was not only business-minded, but also upright. He was indeed a partner and friend worth interacting with and cooperating with.

"In addition, when choosing the general agent in Shenzhen, I thought about it for a long time, and finally chose my friend Zhang Liangshan as the general agent. By the way, it's not because he is my friend that I gave him the general agent, but because he met all the conditions and his ability is also very outstanding."

"Dapeng, when you were in Shenzhen, you should have come into contact with Zhang Liangshan and others. You should have seen how Zhang Liangshan behaves, right?"

Shen Dapeng nodded again, "Yes, I talked to him once. This person has his own unique ideas in terms of conversation and opinions on some things. He is a reliable person. And the remaining three agents are all big bosses with good character. I have to thank you for this."

Under the leadership of Zhang Liangshan, the four agency stores in Shenzhen are now doing very well. The service quality is comparable to that of the direct stores in Beijing, and even better than the direct stores in some small details.

This is inseparable from Cao Zhang's careful selection and strict control.

Therefore, Shen Dapeng believed that there would be no problem with Cao Zhang's selection of candidates. However, sometimes, it was necessary and what needed to be said had to be said.
